Congratulations but you have not reached the end of your challenges. Now, you need to focus on keeping those 40 fat pounds from creeping back on. Many on here continue to log, daily, all the food, all the fluids and all the exercise. It will help you not end up like I did....gaining & losing then regaining even more~~~over…

I have recently been doing some on line shopping research for the perfect new shoes for my race walking. I've read countless customer reviews on those shoes that you bought and, what you're suffering, seems to be common complaints. I don't know about you but, when my feet hurt with new shoes, I take them back with the…

Hey Dude: You need to get some faster running shoes to make a quicker get-away from all those herds of women chasing you. ROFL, LOL, lol. Congratulations! Now, your biggest challenge is KEEPING THOSE FAT POUNDS off~~~FOREVER! Keep logging your food and exercise, forever. That will help keep you on track. Good luck with the…

Please check your email for suggestions for success.

Excellent BUT.... you should be on that cruise ship, in your new swim suit. Keep up the great progress and stay heart healthy & fit.

Excellent but keep in mind those first lost pounds are mostly WATER RETENTION weight. Below is what I send to new MFP friends, it might help: "Welcome to my world of heart-healthy living. Unless you've already done so: get a digital food scale (best prices: WalMart). Keep a small plastic container on top of it. Keep a set…

Make certain that your shoulders and your knees can deal with that type of exercise. Test one out for an hour at a fitness center.

Yes, I TRIED it. Don't count on losing any weight with that stuff. I'm a retired RN with years of experience and nutritional knowledge. Keep in mind that it's a dextrose based product (SUGAR). You are better off loading your lunch and dinner plates with lots and lots of lower calorie vegetables. Avoid red meats as much as…

HERE'S MORE.... "THREE REASONS NORDIC WALKING CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT" "Nordic walking was initially called ski walking, and this may have had something to do with the fact that this physical activity involves the use of poles that resemble ski poles while you walk. The exercise of Nordic walking originated from the…

You lost how much! Wow! It's MFP members like you that keep the rest of us going. What an inspiration you must be for those who are struggling to lose huge amounts of weight. Thanks for sharing. Claire :)

Congratulations! You WILL continue to succeed by staying with your self-developed/self-controlled program that works best for you. You'll do that by staying on track: one meal at a time/one day at a time. Each morning you awaken, congratulate yourself for another day of SUCCESS. Success on one day creates the motivation to…

Thanks for sharing this. It's so valuable, especially for those who are struggling to lose 100 lbs. or more, I'm going to share it with others to. I hope that's okay.

"Onlymenow, You got to change your mindset before you can change your body. Somehow you have to find something about the way you are now that is either so repulsive, disgusting, unhealthy, unattractive, demoralizing or whatever that it jump starts your brain into thinking differently. There is probably some deep seated…

SUGGESTION: re the SOUR CREAM.... use only the FAT FREE type to lower the fat content. Fats have 9 calories per gram.

Congratulations! This morning, I just stepped on the scale here and am .3 of a pound away from that big 30 lbs. down too. I'm so happy for you. Now, go do something extra special for yourself. You look fabulous!

Wow! Now, the big challenge is KEEPING THOSE FAT POUNDS OFF. You can do it because you rock! Congrats!

Outstanding but you may need to consider re-evaluating that final goal. For a 6 ft. tall male, 200 lbs. is still overweight. GO TO: www.mayoclinic.com/heath/obesity

It's not wrong to watch that show at any time as long as you don't imitate that very unhealthy pig-out behavior. Recently, I wrote a complaint to the Food TV producers informing them that the majority of the shows on that channel are promoting more American OBESITY. Children model what they see so, if the parents,…

Protein before bed? You bet your sweet boots you should have it but try to get it in before 8 p.m. That way, you don't wake up so hungry in the morning and it's had a chance to start digesting before you go to sleep. Everything is processed through the liver and protein takes the longest to digest and metabolize. :)

There is no exact amount that anyone can lose. It depends upon your own metabolism, how "clean" your healthy diet might be. Please do not set yourself up for failure. Just stick with your program, faithfully, one meal at a time/one day at a time. You need to have the following: digital food scale set of individual…

Start shopping where the "smart shoppers" go:>>>the thrift stores. I get all my lovely clothes for church, etc. at our Value Village store. They are gorgeous items, many are brand new. Fully lined blazer jackets and fully lined, good quality skirts...most from the better department stores that would have cost a fortune had…

My former cardiologist, who is also a close friend, recommends: not more than 1-2 cups (8 oz cup size) of caffeine containing drinks per day. What caffeine is: it's a stimulant DRUG and is addicting What it does: it accelerates the heart rate and over stimulates the nerves in the body thereby producing a heavier workload…

I once worked with a woman who had a neighbor who was not the nicest one out of the zoo. He started his rant 'n rave at her for no reason other than he didn't like her little pomeranian dogs. She just look him straight in the eyes and said, "Well in my years of professional experience, people with your horrible behavior…

Celebrate ~~~ saving your LIFE! In essence, that's what you've done. So, celebrate LIFE! Congratulations! Now, the most dangerous and biggest challenge is facing you for the rest of your life and that is: keeping the FAT POUNDS off your precious body. Tami Jones Shumate has done that for more than a year~~~188 lbs. later.…

Fiber One also has a 90 calorie chocolate brownie that's very good too. You can buy them at COSTCO in a large box. Since I'm alone, that box will last me all year, lol.

Excellent plan :)

Getting some fresh air and going for a walk will help that feeling a lot.

Very interesting! For everyone's information, Mahi Mahi is: DOLPHIN It will be a cold day in you-know-? when I'll be eating dolphin for any reason. http://www.fish4fun.com/dolphin.htm

How soon do you want to end up under the chest-cutter's scalpel (heart surgeon) to fix the blocked arteries in your heart (they can only do that twice in your lifetime...if you live) or...worse yet, on a slab in the morgue. You're in control of your mind and your body~~~take control. You can do it because you're a winner.

Here's a link for you to calculate either in American measurements or Metric: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bmi-calculator/NU00597 If you reach your goal weight of 57 kg. with a height of 160 cm., your prospective BMI could be: 22.5 You should know that is a rough guess of your body fat percentage.
